Default Finally fixed passenger door.

Previous owner left me with some battle scars on the pass front door. It wasn't raining here today so I started the R&R. Thanks to SKolnick for the replacement shell. The color match was actually pretty decent!

Default That's a door that got caught on something while the car was being backed up. Or..

at least that is what it looks like.

Very common in the Canadian Praries (Saskatchewan) where I grew up. In deep snow, the driver is backing up but can't see out the back window so he (she) opens the driver door and leans out and backs up. At some point, the door gets caught on something (snow drift) and is pulled out more than 90 degrees, wrapping it towards the fender. Dents the door, screws the hinges a bit and probably dents the fender.

Fixable. Best with a new door. Or, in your, case, a new door skin (I had NO idea that the window frame came out with the window (or vice versa) until I saw Skollie do that last Saturday, prepping the door to send you).

Default I sent him an all inclusive payment. You should ask him.

I bought 2 door shells at the same time...

It's not too bad. about 2-3 hour install depending on your attention to detail.
